The year is 1995, and Kaitlin Greenbriar has returned home from a yearlong trip abroad. Alone at home with her sister missing, Kaitlin starts searching the house to do exactly what her sister Samantha warned against: finding answers. Poking around the house and investigating the many objects in the mansion, Kaitlin starts to learn more and more about her family, and her sister.

Gone Home is an adventure game confined to a single mansion, in which players examine objects to unravel a deep, emotional story that breaks open the secrets of an ordinary family, with fully realised characters and secrets that go deeper than just one generation.
